Poll question: Is "homeland" an appropriate term for the United States?

For me, it is too volkisch, too similar to Heimatland and Vaterland.

Where did this term come from and why has it become a part of our national lexicon? Do you use it in daily conversation?

Will it ever go away or has it stuck because of the Department of Homeland Security?
